Ups.
It has been known since the 60s, but it took until 2023 (and 30k lawsuits) for J&J to finally come to the conclusion that killing people this way is now no longer lucrative.
No idea who discovered it, but the machine back at my school had an infrared interface for servicing, and you could trigger an interrupt with the flash of the flintstone of a lighter. Because it's just some 90s microcontroller, it would simply reset after failing to receive a valid command and forget what it was doing previously.
All you had to do was order a coke, and right when it drops out, before it subtracts the amount, you flash the lighter in front of the IR port like a magician, say the magic words and bam - free coke!
Drawers.
